I have some additional test changes that use the SHA1 prerequisite, plus some that fix issues due to the use of a different hash algorithm or a longer hash algorithm. Ultimately, I plan to discard the SHA1 prerequisite and update those tests to use a translation table to look up the correct values depending on the hash algorithm in use. However, we haven't decided on the actual algorithm that NewHash will be yet, so I can't write those translation tables at this point. I plan to start a discussion about the choice of algorithm soon, since we'll soon need to make a decision in order to progress, but I need to do some research and testing in order to have sufficient facts to present to the list. -- brian m. carlson: Houston, Texas, US OpenPGP: https://keybase.io/bk2204
